Shu Palace.

The King of Shu is playing with his beloved concubine in his favorite tiger house.

"Aifei, look at my Siberian tiger, do you think it is fierce? It doesn't look like a lonely king? haha. ”

"How can it compare with the king, the king is much fiercer than it, hehe..."

"How fierce is the Lone King?"

"The king is so bad, from morning to now, the king has rested for more than half an hour... How many people in this world have the physical strength of a king? ”

The king of Shu laughed, satisfied, the concubine spoke too well, and reasoned with the facts, she was simply a model among women. Ha ha.

"Report! Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the Yamen. ”

The King of Shu frowned: "What are you yelling for, what's the matter? Where is the urgent report, what time is this urgent report... Huh? Urgent report?" The King of Shu suddenly thought that the county government of Chengdu City seemed to have never reported any urgent report at this point, what was really the matter? Thinking of this, the King of Shu's heart tightened, and hurriedly asked the person to make it clear.

The guard said: "The king, the county commander sent a report that there were unknown military horses outside the city, and there were about three or four hundred people, who had been camped outside the eastern city. ”

"What?" King Shu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, pushed away his concubine, divided two sets of clothes by three times, and walked out quickly.

Soon the sedan chair came, and the king of Shu jumped into the sedan chair and urgently ordered to go to the county office.

Seeing the urgency of the prince, the sturdy sedan chair drivers all ran with all their strength. This is a rare case.

What is the matter today? They don't know, and they don't dare to ask.

When I came to the county office, the county magistrate had been waiting at the door of the county government for a long time, and when he saw the prince's sedan chair coming, he hurriedly greeted him.

The prince opened the curtain of the sedan car and asked, "What's the matter, where did the soldiers and horses come from?"

The county commander was sweating profusely and said, "Lord Wang, I don't know below." About half an hour ago, the sergeant major standing guard at the head of the city came to tell the lower officials that it seemed that a large number of unknown horsemen had gathered more than ten miles away and were coming to Chengdu. Xia Guan was not at ease at that time, so he went up to the city tower to see. The group got closer and closer, and when the lower officer saw that it seemed to be a soldier and it didn't, the lower officer immediately went down to the city tower and sent someone to report to you. ”

After thinking for a while, the King of Shu immediately made a decision and immediately informed the Governor and the Prime Minister of the Imperial Palace.

This kind of big thing must be everyone's present, good things are enough, bad things are borne by everyone, I, the king of Shu, will never make decisions alone.

Soon, the Governor and Chen Lotian came.

Because the matter was urgent, the four of them briefly explained the situation at the door.

The prince said: "Lord Governor, Lord Chen, what do you think?"

The Governor looked at Chen Letian: "What do you think?"

Chen Letian wanted to ask me what I think of it? Can those people still be bandits? Maybe it was the Southern Army passing by, didn't I hear that the Southern Army had recently been playing that kind of training method in the territory of the country to cross the Great Song Dynasty in one month. After thinking about it, he said: "Xia Guan thinks that it is better to go to the city to take a look if we think about it here, and if you can't see the reason, you can send someone to ask about the situation." Xia Guan estimated that it might be the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty, after all, the bandits were not so bold, and even if they had the courage, it was impossible for so few people to attack Chengdu City, let alone set up camp in a good time. ”

The King of Shu said: "What Lord Chen said is very true, let's go to the city to have a look, let's take a walk." ”

The prince, the governor, the imperial historian, and the county commander rode to the city and climbed the city wall, surrounded by servants and guards.

Chen Letian raised his eyes and saw that there were at least seven or eight camp tents reflected in several bonfires about three or four miles away.

Chen Letian looked carefully, sighed, and vaguely saw two black flags fluttering in the wind.

On the black flag...

Chen Letian's heart suddenly moved, and he shouted below: "Who is the one who came down from the city?"

"I am Lu Tianhong, the captain of the forward battalion of the Northern Army, and my department is a soldier of the forward battalion of the Northern Army, and I was ordered to come to Chengdu to quell the bandits on the order of the general. Captain Lu and the others had already seen the torches in the city and knew that someone was watching them, but now they heard a familiar voice, and they were happy in their hearts, but they replied in a proper manner.

When Chen Letian heard this familiar voice, he laughed out loud, and then shouted: "Brothers, wait a minute, I'll come down immediately, ahhaha..."

The prince and the governor and the county commander were stunned, but the governor and the prince were the first to understand that the people below were the soldiers of the Northern Army mentioned in the holy decree.

But they didn't expect that the holy decree they received five or six days ago, even if the Northern Army received the holy decree at the same time as them, it would not have arrived so quickly.

Is this a rapid march of 800 miles a day?

But no matter what, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, especially the county magistrate, at this critical moment, his life in the cracks was already not easy, but he couldn't come back to this kind of blow, his heart really couldn't stand it.

"Lord Wang, Lord Governor, is a soldier of our Northern Army. Chen Letian rubbed his hands excitedly and said.

"Oh, I see, the king of Ben will let the city gate be opened now so that the heroes of the Northern Army can rest their feet. The prince said, waving his hand to the county order.

"Lord Wang, no, no, no. If we have to go into the city to do business, we must not enter the capital during the day and never enter the city at night to disturb the people without affecting the task. Chen Letian hurriedly said.

The prince was stunned, and then said: "Then what should I do, I can't let the soldiers spend the night outside, the night is still very cold this spring." And the soldiers came all the way, and they definitely didn't eat at night. ”

Chen Letian kept shaking his head and said, "I really don't need it, Lord Wang." Our northern army is an iron law, everyone must abide by it, there are no exceptions, otherwise we will have to serve with military sticks. Lord, go back and rest, and let the officials go out of the city to see them. ”

Saying that, Chen Letian didn't wait for them to respond, and jumped off the city tower with a jump.

The governor of the prince was startled, it was too dangerous to jump down such a high city wall, and he couldn't help shouting: "Lord Chen!" Sticking out his head to look, Chen Letian fell to the ground and waved at them: "Adults, go back and rest, the lower officials will come up." ”

"Captain Lu!" Chen Letian walked quickly to the front of the camp, and Captain Lu stood there, smiling.

Chen Letian rushed up, tightly held the arm of the lieutenant, was speechless for a long time with excitement, and after a while, he took a step back and knelt down on one knee to salute, and said, "Forward battalion Chen Letian see the captain!"

"Wrong, wrong, wrong. Captain Lu hurriedly helped Chen Letian up, bowed down and saluted: "See Lord Chen!"

Chen Letian was a little stunned, and all the three hundred soldiers had already stood in front of him, and they all knelt down on one knee and saluted, and their voices were neat: "See Lord Chen!"

The sound is deafening, as if it has a majestic momentum, which can destroy flowers and grass, and make tigers, leopards, insects and wolves retreat!
